The hysterics over Peters system and it limiting offense have reached peak absurdity. The Hurricanes generate the 4th most high danger scoring chances per game of any team in the league. They also are 7th in the league in 5 on 5 goals scored. That’s when Peters system is actually implemented, 5 on 5. The special teams have sucked out loud this year, and that’s why the record isn’t where it should be.
Edit: Rankkngs are based on per game numbers.
Yeah I’m not sure how anyone could watch the game last night and come away with “we suck offensively”. We absolutely dominated the Islanders in their own zone, and scored nice goals as a result.
A lack of special teams and mediocre goaltending will sink any team. This is how #1 seeds lose in the first round. Except for us it’s not a bad handful of games, it’s been 6 weeks now.
